Hey guys, I know there are alot of vibes needed these days..and I just wondered if you can add my friend to your prayer list.

She and her hubby have been trying to get preggo for over a year with no luck. She wants a baby very badly, and has tried everything from charting her temperature to doing the deed all the time during ovulation and many other things. She is so upset every month when she gets her "monthly". They have just started the procedure of going through a fertility clinic, so hopefully that helps.

Please send some vibes for her..she and her husband will be great parents, and I feel their love and house is going to waste without babies and kids around.


I just don't get why some people have kids that don't want them, and some don't get kids that want them so badly.

Thanks guys!

My thoughts are with your friend, hopefully she will get pregnant soon. Has she tried being on the prenatal vitamin/pill for a little while? I heard that it increases your odds of getting pregnant as well as making her and the baby 'healthier', once she is finally able to conceive.

I will add her to my list of prayers.

I'm sure she is trying everything, but it is normal for healthy women not to get pregnant within a year of trying - two years is a more realistic, if somewhat frustrating time limit. Please encourage her to be patient with herself and her body - there is no health sitaution that being stressed improves.

I agree with Satai - 2 years is considered normal. She must try to relax about it too, because will only make it harder.
I sympathise with her, even though I never want children myself. I have several friends who're having great difficulty with fertility issues, and I know how hard it is.
It bugs me that people who want to have kids and would be good parents are the ones who have the most trouble conceiving it seems.

Yep, she has been on those vitamins since she started trying. Thanks for the tip though

welcome to my world... and yes 2 yrs of trying is what they tell you to wait before trying fertility stuff. Especially if you have been on BC for awhile. I was on them forever, so it takes a year for your body just to start to ovulate regular again.... then your 1 yr of trying. It sucks so bad. Every month I have a breakdown when I get confirmation of another month of failure. And it's hard for me to hear other people complain about their kids.... I ache for 1 and then hear people screaming hatefully at their kids in a store...or see girls dumping babies in the trash. It's hard to listen to my SIL complain about gaining weight because she's pregnant, when I'd love to be shopping for maternity and rubbing my belly. I feel for your girlfriend, and will keep her in my prayers. Just try to be there for her, and allow her to have her feelings. She is up against a rough road, and will need all the outlets to vent her feelings & frustrations. Best of luck... feel free to PM me if you ever need to talk.... I have been going through this for over 2 yrs now and I'd be happy to help you be a better friend to her in her time of need.
